Unable to attend? SIGN THE PLEDGE in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May. The pledge will be open until May 1, when we will publish a list of all those across Montgomery County, and beyond, who are in support of the Asian community during this fearful and dangerous time.
Together, we are Stronger.
Join us in western Montgomery County, PA for a community gathering to support Asian American and Pacific Islanders. Join us as allies, neighbors, friends, and loved ones as we share our stories and build awareness of the beautiful diversity within our communities. Let us work together in the name of unity, love, and hope as we combat discrimination, xenophobia, and violence perpetuated against our communities.
Please plan to bring and wear a mask - rain or shine! Meet us in the heart of Victory Park at the stage in Royersford located at 2nd Avenue and Arch Street.
Though we will be physically and socially distanced at this event, we will be closely united in heart and purpose.
Parking is available on 2nd Avenue at or across the street from the park. Overflow parking can be found at 3rd Avenue at the "Ron Nettles Memorial Field" between Green and Arch Streets.
